In a complete U-turn, the Delhi government on Saturday called off a plan to implement odd-even scheme from November 13 to November 17 in the national capital.
Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot said that the odd-even plan was called off in view of order by National Green Tribunal (NGT) which withdrew all exemptions except on plying of emergency vehicles.
The government is not ready "to compromise with the safety of women" after the NGT ordered that there should be no exemption to anyone except emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire tenders, he said.
